00:00I thought I'd try and lift the mood slightly in all the chat, of course, about Bob Villan talking about the IDF in a very dreadful way, of course, and also kneecap.
00:08But also in Glastonbury, what's interesting is how a field was sold out by people singing children's hymns from school.
00:17We've got a clip now, I think, of that. Let's listen to what was being said.
00:30There we have it. Shine, Jesus, shine. It's Sunday morning, after all.
00:41I'm with my guests now, Eve McQuillan, Candice Holworth and Alexander Stafford.
00:44What do you make of that? The fact you can sell out a field from singing primary school bangers, by the way.
00:52This little light of mine and all that.
00:54Yeah, I think, but it's not actually that it's an observed phenomenon now that there is a rise of religious belief amongst younger people.
01:01And even in people who go to mass now say that you'll see younger people wearing like the traditional mantilla, you know, the veil that you associate with much older generations.
01:10University lecturers, I speak to, say that kids are turning to religion more.
01:14So I think that's really fascinating.
01:16I think I think I kind of I agree with like the generational cycle of history.
01:20A conservative generation might follow a more liberal generation.
01:23So it's interesting to see that.
01:24Yeah, Alexander.
01:25I just think it's people wanting to do something together.
01:27Like when they were growing up, we're growing up.
01:29We had school assembly every day.
01:30You sang hymns, whether you're religious or not.
01:32It was a big community thing.
01:34Now, most schools don't do assemblies every day.
01:35And it's been breaking down.
01:36And people actually want to be together and want to be part of something or joyous something.
01:40And it does bind the country together.
01:41So I think it's a wonderful thing to see.
01:43But the worry is, though, as religion leaves our lives in some parts, certainly in schools, become more secular.
01:47That shared memory of those school songs is forgotten.
01:51And they mean the joy in their hearts was apparent from the TV.
01:55I mean, you know, I think people who have had a few beers in the sun might like a big song.
01:59I don't think we need to take anything else from it than that.
02:03But it's just about shared culture, shared music.
02:05And as everyone's plugged into their phones, we're losing that.
